maybe, but it's still the way the currently online available style guide
suggests it. :)

of course I, being in favor of a general "program" menu left of the file one
would put the about box right there. but alas, nothing like that is part of
any published style guide right now. :)))

(sorry for the picking, but once in a while people get tense and a bit of
this helps to get the stress out. at least for me. if it doesn't for you,
delete the damn mail. :) )
